Chapter 332 Three questions

 Takagi Wataru shouted into the walkie-talkie in a hoarse voice. The sound from the walkie-talkie was full of noise. It was obvious that the signal was not very good.

"...The shelter has already accommodated nearly 3,000 people, and tourists from further away will be arranged to take refuge nearby!"

"...Receive... Got it."

Phew! Heaving a long sigh of relief, Takagi pulled his collar and fanned himself. It was obviously not a hot day and he must have been sweating a lot.

"Miss Sato." He waved to Miwako Sato, who was coming with her children not far away.

"I mean Takagi," Sato handed over the familiar four people to Takagi with a dark look on his face, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of them?"

The four children were none other than Conan and others.

After sneaking out, they followed Conan's reasoning and went all the way to find possible trapped tourists. They unexpectedly met Sato on the way, and the five of them started taking action from then on.

Conan tugged on his belt, almost crying.

The telescopic function on his belt can lift heavy objects very well. Along the way, they met many people who were buried under the building by collapsed masonry. They couldn't wait for the rescue vehicle and used the belt to lift the collapsed wall.

, and thus rescued batch after batch of people.

The price is that Conan's belt wear rate is too high, and now he can only talk to everyone while holding up his pants.

"Okay, thanks to you this time, you can go to the shelter now."

Sato thanked the young detective team for their efforts, and patted Ayumi's head, which was already dusty. "Takagi, you and them all go in, the rescue team has sent someone, I'll pick it up."

"Okay, Miss Sato."

Takagi was more gentle than Sato. He waved and led everyone towards the shelter. Accompanied by the children's energetic "Oh!", they did not realize that no one was missing.

"Officer Sato."

Sato looked back and his head started to hurt again.

"Conan-kun, why did you run out again?"

Edogawa Conan decided to ignore the disgusted voice in Sato's mouth, "Have you checked the shelter? If a bomb is planted there, the casualties will be too heavy."

"Of course." Sato would not make such a stupid mistake, "Before allowing tourists to evacuate, we had already dismantled everything that could be disassembled and inspected it. We only had to lift up the floor to verify whether there were bombs installed in the foundation.

."

"That's good." Conan was relieved, "Then, does Officer Sato have any thoughts about the prisoner this time?"

Hearing this, Sato frowned. Although the prisoner mentioned the bombing a week ago, she did not think that he was also an accomplice in the bombing, or that this was also a case of revenge for the bombing prisoner.

"He committed the crime under the guise of the bombing a week ago in order to hide his true purpose."

Conan smiled, obviously Sato's conjecture was also his idea. He said: "Now, we need to find out his true purpose."

"There are three points."

"First, why did he choose the Underwater Paradise?"

Conan raised a finger and said, "Choose the underwater paradise. At the same time, he also put the only video of a man self-destructing into the dolphin show hall where there are the most police officers. It can be guessed from his words that he knew there were people in that show hall.

The police."

"Why would he know?"

Sato's face was gloomy, "Someone in the police was bribed and the information was revealed to him."

Conan nodded and raised a second finger, "Second, who is he coming for?"

"If it is simply to create panic, he does not have to choose to issue a challenge to the police. Of course, it does not rule out that he is like Kaitou Kidd, who enjoys provoking the police.

After all, I heard my... distant cousin say that there is an international criminal who seems to give notices to the police before committing crimes, and he is also famous for his explosions."

"If this is excluded, would he be doing the same thing as the bomber a week ago, to take revenge on the police?"

Sato frowned, not thinking about the international criminal Conan mentioned. Just talking about the people the police had offended, they could line up half of Tokyo.

"The scope of this screening is too large, but we can go back and take a look at some old cases. If there are any unjust, false or erroneous cases... wait a minute."

Sato's face hardened, and he looked at Conan for a second. Isn't there one of those old injustice cases around me?!

But... "It's impossible for Kuroki Jin."

"Indeed, it's impossible."

A policeman and a detective issued good guy cards to Kuroki Jin at the same time.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange, and Conan quickly continued with the next argument, "Third, why did he blow up the gate to the park to prevent tourists from escaping?"

Sato doesn't know this either. By trapping so many tourists in this place, what is the ultimate goal of this prisoner?

"The rescue team has started evacuation at the main entrance. I'm going to take a look. Can Conan-kun go back to the shelter by himself?"

Sato said without hope.

Conan blinked and asked innocently: "If I said that I would turn around and go back to the shelter, would Officer Sato believe it?"

Don’t believe it.

So Sato had to take Conan with him towards the door.

……

"I have something to tell you."

When Haihara Ai said these words, he could clearly feel his heart beating faster, thump thump... as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

She didn't know what the consequences of her next words would be. Maybe they could still live in peace as before, or maybe the person opposite would directly take her back to the organization.

No matter which outcome, Haiyuan Ai was mentally prepared. She only spoke at this time after she was mentally prepared for all the consequences.

Kuroki Ren was obviously a little surprised. He didn't know what Haiyuan Ai was going to say, but he still smiled gently, bent down and asked considerately: "What is Xiao Ai going to say? Do you know any clues?"
p>

Haiyuan was stunned and almost lost his temper.

"No." She glared at Kuroki Ren slightly, telling him not to interrupt, "Listen to me and don't interrupt me in the middle."

"Oh..."

Hui Yuan Ai took a deep breath and said:

"Although you may not believe it, I——"

"Boom——!!"

Not far away, a burst of explosions broke through the sky suddenly, and then the ground began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Kuroki Ren subconsciously held the child in front of him in his arms, half-kneeling on the ground to protect her head, waiting for the shaking to stop.

"This is...?"

Hui Yuan Ai broke free. Neither of them cared about what they were about to say. They ran a few steps forward and exited the corner, looking in the direction of the billowing black smoke.

"...shelter?"

Almost the entire underwater paradise has been pressed on the pause button, and no one who can see it seems to want to believe that the scene in front of them is really happening.

"Takagi——!"

"Misuhiko, Genta, Ayumi... and those people..."

Visitors, friends, police, staff of the shelter...the temporary gathering place of nearly 3,000 people just exploded in front of everyone's eyes.
